Alton Edmond, Esquire

Founder

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Alton Edmond is an Attorney by trade and a serial entrepreneur owning and managing his own: law practice, Edmond Law that specializes in business law and criminal defense, real estate investment business and motivational speaking non-profit corporation (Edmond Inspiration). His goal is to exercise fundamental business principles, entertain audiences, and help people. It is upon his suggestion that Imperial XL Promotions will donate a portion of the proceeds from every event to a local charitable organization.

Alton’s experience in combat sports dates back to 2002 when he began wrestling. He later became a huge MMA fan and enthusiast and has trained in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, jujitsu and of course wrestling. He currently competes as an amateur MMA fighter and is 2-2 with both wins by TKO, and is coached by David DiQuollo of Unlimited Kickboxing in striking, and Marshall Kemper and Gerald Stout in Grappling.

Alton decided to found Imperial XL Promotions after competing in several MMA bouts with multiple promotions, and discovering ways that he could move combat sports forward from those experiences. His first call was to his friend and big brother of sorts, Mr. Thomas Cole, the Co-Founder of Emma Jewel Charter Academy where Alto serves as the Chair of the Governing Board.

Growing up watching pro wrestling on Saturday mornings along with watching his brother Walter get ready for meets as a wrestler for Cocoa High School himself he wanted to follow in his footsteps. Coming from humble up bringing’s as well as on a destructive path the sport of wrestling helped turn his life in a different direction.

Continuing to coach after his mentor left, coaching under 7 different head coaches before taking over the program in 2020. Taking the team from a roster of 5 to 40 plus and growing. Coaching in the Cocoa community is his passion. Teaching the young men and women he comes in contact with that there is no substitution for hard work. With that Mr. Stout teaches pride in themselves, pride in their team and pride in their community. Coaching is where Mr. Stout met Mr. Alton Edmond, who serves as his assistant coach of the Cocoa High School Wrestling Team. Mr Clicking as a yin and yang to each other’s strong suits, skyrocketing the success of their wrestling squad. This is where the 2 along with the rest of the partners decided to step foot into the Combat sports promotion game.
